ANOTHER REASON WE'RE HERE...

Sister #1 just asked me why do an open journal. Open to the public, like this is.

Well, I said, we started with individual letters through the mail. Then, when word processing came along we wrote a One Size Fits All letter and cut and paste new salutations and perhaps some varied content. Then there was e-mails. Then IMing. Now, if anyone cares to know what lifeonhold is up to or thinking about, they can check out the journal.

The ebbs and flow of daily life is in a journal, sort of like coming home from work and asking, "How'd it go today?" It is a way to connect across the miles.
